Default Pics of reach on Yaffe Monkey 10"

I have seen lots of pics of the 10" Yaffe Monkey bagger bars, but not many of someone sitting on the bike reaching for the bars. I am curious how much reach there is with the 10" since the pullback is less than other ape-style bars for the batwing fairing. If anyone has some pics of their 10" Monkey bars that shows one reaching out for the bars I would really appreciate seeing them. Currently I'm debating between the 10" Monkey bars and the Santee 11" bars.

Thanks.

I know these are not the type of pics you wanted. But I am 5'7 and I have normal arms. I put the 10's on my bike. In the pic is how I had them in the spring. I have since then pushed them forward. It is much more comfortable. I never thought I would think apes would be comfortable, but I could have never been so wrong. No more back or shoulder pain. If was thinking about a new bike and I would have set the bars up the same way.

Those are 10 inch bars? They look taller. I thought the 10's were below the fairing?

How is the 2-up riding with the Yaffe 10" MMB's? Does having (mini) apes effect center of gravity, stability at lower speeds, etc?

When I odered them I ordered 10's. Compared to some they look taller then 10's but I am happy with them. No problems with 2 up riding.
